7.The granting of the proposed variance will not in any way impair health, safety, comfort, morals, or in any other respect be contrary to the intent of the Zoning Code. The encroachment on the blttff may have a detrimental effect on the ravine. 8.The granting of such variance will not merely serve as a convenience to the applicant, but is necessary to alleviate demonstrable hardship or difficulty. The subject property does not meet the lot area and lot width requirements. The applicant needs to explain why the addition and deck are proposed to need variances for hardcover andALS. Issues 1. 2. 4. 5. 6. The lot does not meet lot area or lot width requirements. The existing residence is built between the top of the bluff and .bluff setback. It was constructed before the Shoreland Regulations. There is a ravine between the subject property and the house to the east. The lot slopes from the street toward the lake. 3.A well is located near the driveway; however, it does not interfere with the location of structures on the lot. Previous additions were constructed in 1956 and 1969. There is sufficient area on the lot to add to the rear of the structure. This may not require a bluff setback variance and would not require an average lakeshore setback. The amount of hardcover on this property and the lot coverage is very close to the maximum allowed for this lot as it exists. The applicant has proposed removing the sidewalk which is not recommended because of the topography. The applicant has also proposed to remove the parking space that functions as a backout space from the garage. Given the topography and sight line to the street, it is not reconunended that this area be removed. For safety reasons, vehicles should not back up the hill out on North Arm Drive.
